A Fine Victorian “Household Edition” of Dickens’s Bleak House, richly illustrated by F. Barnard A genuine Household Edition of Charles Dickens’s Bleak House, published by Chapman & Hall, London, around the 1870s. Bound in its original green cloth, decorated in gilt and black with the familiar globe emblem. Includes all 61 illustrations by Frederick Barnard, whose vivid engravings redefined Dickens for Victorian readers. The title page is undated, as issued, consistent with other Chapman & Hall Household Editions printed in this period. The binding is firm and presentable, with light wear to the spine and corners. Pages are clean, evenly toned, and well preserved — a solid, honest copy that has clearly been cared for. An attractive and authentic 19th-century Dickens, representing the era when his novels were truly part of the Victorian household. A fine addition to any Dickens or illustrated literature collection.
